I commute from VA to MD, and this is where I am seeing the effect. Opposite commute is not much changed from what I can see, perhaps regional differences from VA to MD.

Retail sales are still strong, but that will change as realization dawns that Dow 10K will be a fond memory by Xmas.

Real estate will be the last bubble to pop.

I believe that regional economic activity has slowed, but that has not translated to major layoffs, or sharp decreases in retail spending (yet). Those events will happen, of that I am sure.

I am hoping we get a nice rebound on the averages to resistance, for example a pop on Naz from 1750 to 2150 or so. I will be shorting that with both long term LEAPS and shorter time-frame trades to fix profits.

My long term target on Naz is well below 2000.

I think 1500 is a given.

1150 is very possible.

I would not be surprised at 500-800.

It will take time, though, perhaps another 12-24 months.

Not to mention that almost all the churches now seem to have Korean lettering on them as well. Construction, retail, and government, as well as tech, has benefitted from the Asian immigration boom here in No. Va. There also seem to be more Eastern Europeans among the Caucasians.

I suspect office supply, book dealers, and music stores are most affected by the internet since people who buy in quantity will benefit most from the net.
